Hi dbaer Thanks, The video is definitely worth a million words. I' did my research on these splitters and other 3 point splitters a lot of people have very good things to say about them. As indicated I've used regular splitters and did a fair amount of research before buying the split fire one thing i will say is if your going to get one definitely spend the extra money and get the 4 way wedge model since it has both the standard wedge and the 4 way you. It is not an easy upgrade to go from the 3203 to the 3403.
I did the calculation using the hydraulic capacity of your mx5100 assuming 9.2 GPM 24" Stroke and 3.5" diameter cylinder The extend direction would take ~6.5 seconds the retraction side would be about 5.5seconds not exactly sure of the rod size. So it would still be much faster than most conventional splitters.
